BOTTLE.

Application filed November.l0, 1914.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERRY O. SNELLINGS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Reform, in the county of Saline and State 'of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles, and has for an object to provide a bottle of a simple construction and which has a novel appearance and configuration whereby to act as a warning to persons desiring to use the con tents of the bottle that the bottle having said particular appearance and configuration contains a poison or other particular kind of fluid.

The bottle is adapted particularly for use in containing poisonous fluids and is formed with a medial annular recess or indentation which is preferably colored red or the like so that when a person has removed the bottle from a shelf the red band-like recess will act as a notification to the person that the bottle contains a poison.

In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bottle; and Fig. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged vertical sectional view taken through the bottle.

Referring more particularly to the views, I disclose a bottle body preferably of a cylindrical construction and having the usual neck 11 forming a mouth 12. The inner face 13 of the wall 14 of the bottle is smooth and the outer face 15 of the wall 14:, at substantially the medial portion of the Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, I

Specification of Letters Patent.

bottle body, is formed with a plurality of annular parallel projecting ribs 16 which form an annular recess 17, it being seen, however, that the formation of the recess 17 does not weaken the bottle for the reason that the thickness of the wall ll at the point of formation of the recess 17 is the same as the general thickness of the wall 14 of the bottle body, the recess 17 being formed entirely by the provision of the outwardly projecting ribs 16 and which necessarily thicken the wall of the bottle body at their points of formation.

By means of a suitable paint, enamel or some other medium the wall of the recess 17 can be colored red or some other brilliant color which will serve as an attraction for the eye to warn a person desiring to use the contents of the bottle that the said contents are of a poisonous nature.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

As a new article of manufacture, a bottle comprising a body having a pair of parallel horizontal spaced annular ribs projecting from its periphery and forming a narrow annular groove midway the length of the bottle, the portion of the face of the ball forming the Vertical wall of said groove being colored red by the application of a liquid thereon, the walls of the bottle at the point of formation of the groove being of the same thickness as the general thickness of the body, whereby said ribs tend to strengthen the bottle rather than weaken the same.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
